The Bonus Fall Turkey and Antlerless Deer Harvest Authorization sales are two of the most popular events for the DNR.

The Bonus Antlerless Deer Harvest Authorization sale is one of the most popular events for the DNR.

Depending on the number of customers trying to use the site at the beginning of a sale, you may experience a waiting period before you proceed.

The 2026 Bonus Fall Turkey Harvest Authorization sale for zones 1 - 4 begins at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 15. Harvest Authorizations will remain on sale until sold out.

The 2026 Bonus Antlerless Harvest Authorization sale begins at 10:00 a.m. each day:

  • August 17 — Northern and Central Forest Zones; 107,980 harvest authorizations available
  • August 18 — Central Farmland Zone; 117,225 harvest authorizations available
  • August 19 — Southern Farmland Zone; 47,515 harvest authorizations available
  • August 20 — All remaining harvest authorizations for any zone

The 2026 Bonus Antlerless Harvest Authorization sale begins at 10:00 a.m. today for all remaining bonus harvest authorizations, regardless of zone.

On the date of the sale, depending upon customer demand, you may experience a waiting period before you are let into the Go Wild site. To prepare for the sale, each day at 9:45 a.m., an online queuing system will be used to manage volume in the Go Wild system. At 10:00 a.m. all online users who are on the site will be randomly assigned a number and staged into a “virtual” line regardless of the actual time you entered into the system. There is no advantage for customers who enter the site before 9:45. Please note that customers who enter the site after the randomization occurs at 10:00 will be added to the line in the order in which they arrive. Once the queue is empty, online users will go directly to the Go Wild home page for the remainder of the day.

Bonus Harvest Authorizations may also be purchased at participating agent locations. Customers at these locations will be in a physical line managed by each location manager.

Reminder: Beginning in 2026, all users who have already established a username and password will now be required to use these credentials for login. For those who haven't yet created a username and password, you can still access your account using personal information, but you will be prompted to complete the username and password setup and security questions.

The Wisconsin DNR thanks you for your patronage and we wish you a fun, exciting, and safe hunting experience.
